Thank you Janet Lansbury for sharing.
Always consider a baby's (or child's) perspective. Their perspective is valid and important to understand.

Today is National Close the Gap Day ❤️
It's our priority to ensure each Aboriginal child and young person is a proud and confident learner, achieving at their highest potential.
The Aboriginal Education Strategy 2019-2029 expands across the early years into schooling and is followed by pathways to success beyond school. ✏️
The strategy was informed by consultation with Aboriginal students, families, communities and our workforce.
Closing the Gap is a shared goal and a shared responsibility. It means seeking, hearing, and respecting the voices of Aboriginal staff and experts, and encouraging participation of Aboriginal students, parents, carers, families and communities across our services.
